 “Disassembly” (p. 5)
* The rods and rings are not used here.
2. Wrap the cloths or fabric around the stand (three 
places).
3. Turn the pad over and thread the strings through 
the holes where the rods are usually mounted (four 
places).
 * Make sure to thread the string 
through the holes at the 
specied places. If you thread 
the strings through other places, 
this could damage the sensor.
4. Flip the stand upside down that you wrapped with 
cloths or fabric in step 1, and place it on the pad that 
you turned over.
Position the pad so that the protrusion faces towards you.
5. Tie the strings into knots (four places).

Depending on the stand and how you strike the TAIKO-1, you may 
get a better drumming feel by adjusting the parameters.

MEMO
You can line up two sets of 
pads that you have respectively 
attached to the oor stands, for 
two people to play. In this case, 
connect the TRIG OUT jack of the 
second pad to the TRIG IN 2 jack (or 
the TRIG IN 1 jack) of the TAIKO-1.
Place the sound module on the 
oor for use.
Disassembly
To disassemble the units, use the reverse process you used when 
assembling them.
